This 2002 BMW M Coupe is finished in Titanium Silver Metallic over black Nappa leather and is one of only 340 M Coupes produced for 2002, the final model year. Power is provided by a replacement 3.2-liter S54 inline-six, which is paired with a 5-speed manual transmission and a limited-slip differential. Additional factory equipment includes heated seats and a 9-speaker Harman Kardon sound system. The seller acquired the car in the summer of 2013 and has since added 8k of the 89k indicated miles. Maintenance performed since the engine replacement included a cooling system service, valve adjustment, and a new VANOS gasket. This sunroof-delete M Coupe is now offered with its window sticker, partial service records, a Carfax report, and a clean Washington title in the seller’s name.

Just 19 sunroof-delete, S54-powered M Coupes were produced in TitansilberMetallic (354/7) over black. The rear and side windows have been tinted on this example, and the exterior is shown up close in the gallery below along with a number of body panel VIN tags. The Carfax report indicates an accident in March 2003, though the seller is unaware of the details.

Staggered-width 17″ Style 40 wheels wear 225/45 Dunlop SP Sport tires up front and 245/40 Continental Extreme Contact DW tires out back. The lower control arm bushings and tie-rod assemblies were replaced at around 88k miles in April 2017.

The interior features heated seats trimmed in black Nappa leather, along with matching carpets and door panels. The Harman Kardon AM/FM stereo is paired with a remote CD changer located in the cargo area. The seller notes that he repaired some of the wiring in the hatch.

Instrumentation includes a 170-mph speedometer, a 9k-rpm tachometer, gauges for fuel level and temperature, and a trio of VDO gauges mounted in the center stack. The digital odometer shows 89k miles, approximately 8k of which were added by the seller over the last six years. The seller states that the speedometer will sporadically stop working and drop to 0 mph.

The 3.2-liter S54 inline-six was rated at 315 horsepower at 7,400 rpm and 251 lb-ft of torque at 4,900 rpm when new. A replacement engine from an M3 was installed in August 2013 at approximately 81k miles following a rod bearing failure, and a receipt detailing the service is shown in the gallery. Shifting is through a ZF 5-speed manual transmission, which received a new clutch when the engine was replaced. Additional service performed since is detailed in the gallery and included:

Power steering system work

Replacement of a VANOS gasket

Replacement of an engine oil check valve

Rear differential and transmission service

Diagnostic Module Tank Leakage pump replacement

Radiator replacement

Valve adjustment and valve cover gasket replacement

The sale includes a window sticker showing a $45,635 list price when new, as well as factory literature and service records from the seller’s ownership.

The Carfax report shows an accident in Arizona in May 2003, along with registration in Arizona, California, Massachusetts, and Washington between 2002 and 2019.
